Famous quotes containing the word youth:

    I’ve never understood why people consider youth a time of freedom and joy. It’s probably because they have forgotten their own.
    Margaret Atwood (b. 1939)

    Better to endure hardship in youth than poverty in old age.
    Chinese proverb.

    I avoid talking before the youth of the age as I would dancing before them: for if one’s tongue don’t move in the steps of the day, and thinks to please by its old graces, it is only an object of ridicule.
    Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
